Local Innovation Systems

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to show the positive impact of public support for the relationships within the triple helix model on the local development of Western Poland (WP). Design/methodology/approach: The paper presents the econometric model based on backward stepwise multiple regression in which the explanatory variables were expenses aggregated into 44 categories dedicated to triple helix model. The model defines a theoretical framework for local innovation systems in 111 counties of WP (5 western voivodeships). An economic aggregate based on average salaries was chosen as a dependent variable, treated as a measure of local development. Findings: Relationships diagnosed within triple helix model were supported by public expenditures from the European Union cohesion policy in 2007-2013. Two hypotheses were proposed in the paper. In the first one, a presumption was expressed for the positive impact of statistically significant expenditures on innovative activity, and technical and knowledge infrastructure for the local development of WP. The hypothesis was tested in basic and extended variants. In the second one, a presumption was expressed in which public expenditures on technical infrastructure were more influential for the local development of WP than expenditures on knowledge infrastructure. The first hypothesis was confirmed in both basic and extended variants. The second hypothesis could not be confirmed as a result of the research procedure. Importantly, bi-lateral synergy effects in the triple helix model within the researched counties of WP, positively influencing local development, are evident. Research limitations/implications: The Triple helix model, treated as a template for creating local innovation systems, could be extended into quadruple helix model. Future research may include variables related to “society” as forth side supporting innovative processes in local economy. Practical implications: The results of the regression model confirm the positive impact of expenses related to the broadly understood innovation activities on local development. In contrast, expenditure on technical infrastructure, representing the administration–business relationship, demonstrates a negative impact on the adopted local development measures. Originality/value: the paper presents the methodology, that could be used in diagnosing trilateral relationships occurring at the interface of science–business–administration. In the research, only bilateral relations have been diagnosed at the interface of science–business and administration–science.

The Impact

This article focuses on cultural and creative activities and the development of local communities. Several studies on North America, Europe and Latin America have shown that this type of activity may have a positive impact on the local economy and living environments, and in particular on the sense of territorial belonging and on relations between citizens. In this text, we propose a reading of the impact of neighborhood cultural initiatives in the context of local socio-economic development based on a set of indicators of the local cultural vitality of a neighborhood. The empirical research was carried out in Montreal, namely on two boroughs: Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie and Sud-Ouest.

Education And Economic Growth

This paper highlights the role of higher education for the economic growth inPakistan. We explore the impact of increase in enrolment at tertiary level on thegrowth rate of income per worker. Estimating a growth model developed byMankiv et. al. (1992), using the annual data of Pakistan, we find a robustrelationship between higher education and economic growth in the long run. Themodel has also shown that investment in fixed capital has positive impact oneconomic uplift. Applying Johansen’s cointegration test, we show that the longrun elasticity of income with respect to capital stock is different from its share inGDP, and increase in the enrolment per unit of effective worker helps inbolstering economic growth. But, like earlier literature we also find statisticallyinsignificant relationship between higher education and GDP per worker. Thereare some fundamental reasons concerning to the ambiguous impact of investingin human capital on economic growth, particularly in the short run in case ofPakistan. First, the sharp increase in enrollment, recently, has been damaging thequality of education. Second, the unequal distribution of educational services hasheld back the efficiency of public expenditures, particularly before the reformsundertaken by higher education commission. Third, the low private return ofeducation has limited the demand for higher education in Pakistan for almost fiftyyears.

PurposeBy using the Triple Helix model, the purpose of this paper is to uncover the perceptions of nascent entrepreneurs about a university–industry–government collaboration program, in particular about the role of each agent to foster rural entrepreneurship; the value and effect of this collaboration; and their own contributions to local development.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative case study method is adopted, involving semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs and secondary data. The text is analyzed using qualitative content analysis.FindingsThe interaction of the Triple Helix partners is perceived as valuable both at the personal and the business levels. One of the most salient results is the value ascribed to the knowledge-rich environment created. Entrepreneurs are aware of their contribution to local development, identifying economic, social and cultural effects.Practical implicationsThe research strengthens the importance of the joint efforts of the Triple Helix partners by uncovering a number of outputs from their collaboration, which affect both the entrepreneurs and local development through entrepreneurship.Originality/valuePrevious studies assume that the Triple Helix fosters technological innovation that favors regional development, mainly by adopting a macro-level perspective. This study makes a contribution by furthering the knowledge on the micro-level dynamics of the Triple Helix, through the view of low tech, rural entrepreneurs, considering their context.

The Impact

Results of the comparative study presented in this paper suggests that local government organization influences land-use planning, and local development strategies and disparities. Local government reforms can, therefore, serve to modify spatial patterns of development and disparities. Based on a review of studies made in the developed and the developing world, the author provides a comparative perspective on these influences. Five major dimensions of local government organization—territorial, functional, political autonomy, fiscal, and electoral—are used to define four extreme models of local government. The American self-government model leads to substantial inequalities and to considerable sprawl. The Western welfare-state model alleviates these problems somewhat, but at a cost to central government. Its positive impact is also dependent on norms of administration at the central level, whereas reduced competition over economic development has its negative sides. Developing-world-type centralism has no real advantages in terms of development or disparities. The developing-world decentralized model can be regarded as a transitional phase towards either the self-government or the welfare-state models. Its implementation has been partial; hence its impact has, so far, been rather small.

This study aims to describe the potential development of religioustourism at the tomb of Sheikh Abdurrahman Siddiq in Teluk DalamVillage, Kuala Indragiri District, Indragiri Hilir Regency, includingthe process of forming tourism objects, developing tourism objects,and the impact of their development. This research is a qualitativetype with a case study strategy. Data collection techniques byobservation, interviews, and documentation. Test the validity of thedata by triangulation of data sources and data collection techniques.Analysis of the data using interactive techniques. This study showsthat the formation of this tourist attraction stems from the collapse ofthe Indragiri kingdom. Sheikh Abdurrahman Siddiq, a Mufhti of theIndragiri Kingdom, built a mosque as a means of spreading Islam inthe Hidayat area. After he died, he was buried in Teluk Dalam villagein the courtyard of the mosque that was built. The tomb is sacred bythe community and used as a religious tourism object. Many peoplevisit for pilgrimage. For this reason, development is carried out,including the addition of tourist objects such as the SheikhAbdurrahman Siddiq Museum and the Mosque to make it morecomfortable. In addition, the addition of basic facilities in the form ofan entrance gate and a roof to protect the tomb. Complementaryfacilities are in the form of pilgrim rules and mosques. Supportingfacilities include parking lots, canteens, and clothing stores.However, there are several facilities that have not been developedoptimally, namely repairing basic facilities in the form of repairingentrances to tombs and mosques. Improvement of complementaryfacilities in the form of ablution places and toilets. The developmentof tourist information includes introducing tourism objects tooutsiders and to increase tourist visits. This can be done by usingbrochures, accessing google internet services. This development hasa positive impact on the local economy. It can be seen from thegrowth of various business fields, such as clothing stores, food stalls,street vendors, and entertainment.

Legal Barriers

The aim of this study was to investigate the dynamics of local development in the Polish-German borderland in the process of European integration. Taking the perspective of the economically weaker partner (Poland) and its inner market, fiscal and socio-economic indicators were used to depict both spatial and time dimension of the phenomenon. The analysis showed that the dynamics of local economy, foreign investment and labour market have been changing with the advancement of debordering process and had a non-linear character. Furthermore, the legal barriers earlier imposed by the state border were replaced by other limitations for the new common market – more socio-economic in nature. As a result the immediate neighbourhood of the border was the first beneficiary of the European integration initiated in the nineties and the first to experience its drawbacks.

The Impact

The local and international communities play an important role in the sustainable growth of the Malaysian tourism industry. The principle of sustainable growth in the tourism industry was proposed by the World Tourism Organization (WTO) in 1988. As the tourism industry is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in Malaysia, the government has poured considerable effort into promoting this industry consistent with the objective of the Economic Transformation Program (ETP) to transform from a resource-based economy to a service-based economy. This study aimed to test the hypothesis of tourism-led growth from Malaysia’s perspective. The tourism revenue earned by the government can be used to invest in industry to further promote economic growth in Malaysia. Hence, tourist receipts and capital investment in the tourism industry are important factors that can affect the nation’s economic growth. Utilizing Malaysian data from 1995 to 2016, the study employed the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach to examine whether the tourism-led growth is valid in this study. Empirical findings indicated that both variables have a significant positive impact on economic growth and the hypothesis of tourism-led growth is accepted in Malaysia.

The Impact

This paper investigates the impact of corruption on economic growth in the Italian Regions. We estimate a dynamic growth model for the period 1980-2004 addressing both the potential bias of the measures of corruption and the endogeneity between corruption and economic development. We find strong evidence of a negative correlation between corruption and growth. Moreover, since government intervention has been traditionally used to reduce income differentials between the Northern and the Southern regions, we also analyze the interaction between corruption and government expenditure. Our results indicate that corruption undermines the positive impact that public expenditures have on economic growth.
